Because the Irish government has disallowed air b&bs? I thought that's what I read, am I wrong?

They banned some classes of rentals, but not all. You are still allowed to do short-term rentals provided they are your primary residence (i.e. no buying up homes/apartments for the purpose of AirBnB-type rental) and provided it's not for more than 14 days consecutively, or 90 days in total per year.

And do you have any space available?

I've just sent a message to my host to see if we are effected.  

 

I don't have space at present unless you can convince someone to share a double bed.

 

edit  - I still have the place no problems

I have upgraded my membership and my hotel in Belfast is booked. What I need to do now is book a Dublin hotel and my flight.

 

It looks like I may have a spare bed available now, if your interested?  Should know for certain within a day or two

Pebble, I received an e-mail from you which I now cannot find. Was that a confirmation of a supporting membership? We didn't buy full memberships in Helsinki, did we?

eta: there's no list on the website of supporting members like Worldcon does, is there?

Pebble, I sent my e-mail. This is the response I got: Yes, you have a supporting membership, that was actually a bid supporter converted at Helsinki to supporting membership. So you need to upgrade to a full membership.

But when I go to the membership page there is no category of Bid Backer with a reduced rate. And no link in my e-mail response.

E-mail them back again and ask how you upgrade.   Memberships are not my area.  I will pass this on however.

 

I'm going to bed right now so can't chase up immediately.

 

 

Edit.  - I believe you have now been contacted by our membership people and given a workable solution.

My husband and I have a triple room for Dublin, and it's currently just us two, so we have room for a third. I'll message you privately with the details for you to consider. :)

Edit: looks like you don't take messages here, so here's the information to consider:

We got a triple accommodation so we had the possibility of finding someone to share with, and thus share the costs.

Here are the details:

Think about if this would work for you. Also, we're not big on partying or drinking and such (I'm actually here for the conversation, what?), but you wouldn't need to keep the same hours as us if you enjoy being out late. We plan to have a lazy breakfast in the mornings at the hotel because I'm not quick to move in the mornings either, lol.

We could meet virtually beforehand too if you want to meet us before saying yes; we use skype and google hangouts. We also happen to live in the Netherlands, so we may be a few hours ahead of you. :D

Let me know if this sounds good to you and if you have any questions.

Thanks! ~Nikki

Thank-you so much! I must delete messages again, it's the game playing!

You may have missed it, but Pebble had space come up, which I accepted, before you posted. However, I suspect there is someone else rolling in from across the ocean who will also need a bed. I will send her a message to see if she is still coming (she said so several months ago)..
